There was hope last summer than an El Nino coming for the winter would bring much needed rain and snow to the state and alleviate the drought conditions that have been ongoing for more than three years. However, as the summer turned into early fall the El Nino weakened and to me that spelled problems. I made my winter forecast saying that while this winter would be wetter than last (not a difficult thing to do) that rain and snow accumulations would still be below normal. Read more>>>

Major boom or bust winter storm

Below are four forecast models just posted by Fox19.  Big differences.  One says no snow, two say a foot or more.  What do you do with that?  For now, I will stick with the 4-8 forecast but realize we are not much closer to resolving this than 24 hours ago.  This storm could be boom or bust.  Perhaps we’ll know more in the morning!
